KEY FOCUS

Total Views |

EDUCATION AND HEALTH

Education and Health go hand in hand as one is incomplete without the other. Hence these are our key focus areas, with special attention to the girl child/women.

We work to impart education to the unlettered among the underprivileged sections of the society. We also lay emphasis on developing health awareness and promoting healthy lifestyles among all sections of the society.

EDUCATION

Our dream is that no Indian child should be devoid of basic education, and should never need to beg. All children of poor, backward and uneducated families should have access to opportunities that can prepare them for gainful employment and make them responsible citizens of India.

Objectives:

To uplift children who do not have access to the formal education system, through literacy, education and vocational training.
To hold classes, free of cost, for children who are left out of the formal education system.
To integrate these children into mainstream education system by getting them admitted to government/MCD schools.
To identify the hidden talent in these children and provide them avenues to become specialists in their chosen fields.
To ensure that each child develops the need and skills to become self-reliant.
To handle each child with love and affection, so that he/she imbibes a sense of social responsibility and the values of self-respect, obedience, honesty and personal integrity.
To ensure regular health check-ups for the children and their families. Also, to provide and monitor medical aid whenever necessary.
To support the children/their families in times of distress and emergencies.

HEALTH

Staying healthy is key to living a good life. Hence it is essential to be aware about how to stay healthy.

Our focus is to generate awareness among public on the health front. The COVID19 pandemic has also reinforced the need for healthy lifetsyles that create better immunity.

Female Health:

We lay special emphasis on female reproductive health. A healthy woman is the foundation for a healthy society.

To ensure female health, Awareness is the first step, and Medical Treatment the last. With this vision, we have embarked upon the mission to enhance health awareness among females, with special attention to adolescent girls and married women from the weaker sections of society.

We conduct awareness programs and counseling sessions relating to:

Adolescent health issues, especially menstrual health and hygiene
Sexual hygiene, contraception etc. – for married women
Cervical cancer and screening
Nutrition
Early marriage and pregnancy

For the Good Health Project we have tied up with a health care company DrSafeHands, a team of doctors and experts which works in the domain of reproductive health.

General Health Awareness:

We conduct regular counseling sessions for preventing the spread of COVID19. We have also distributed hand sanitizers and face masks in large numbers among the needy in Delhi and Kashmir.

We schedule periodic screening of all children and other beneficiaries at our current centres.

We also facilitate access to affordable as well as government sponsored health facilities and interventions whenever anyone needs help on urgent/chronic health-related problems.

We have conducted health camps for our target groups at all our project venues, in Delhi, Uttarakhand and Haryana.

Medical interventions:

In special cases of chronic illness, we facilitate complete treatment of patients, even surgeries - if required.

One of our life-saving interventions was in the case of a 9-year-old student whose medical condition was discovered during regular medical screening in classroom.

The student, Jyoti, had light fever when our visiting doctor checked her up and suspected a heart condition. This was in 2009. She was taken for further tests and found to be suffering from a serious heart problem, needing immediate surgery. Her family was very poor and did not have any documents either. We facilitated the required documentation and medical intervention. Her community was initially against any surgical procedure. Our team had to organize rigorous counseling for the entire community. The surgery was successfully done at GB Pant hospital. Our team ensured follow-up medication and regular check-ups for several years. The girl is living a normal life now – she got married and delivered a healthy baby in 2019! Her pregnancy was also medically supervised by our team, with the required check-ups facilitated at AIIMS.

Many cases of illnesses and medical emergencies have been similarly handled by our team, with 100% success rate till date. We thank the Almighty for supporting our efforts.
